The Department of Epidemiology within the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, the Dartmouth Cancer Center, and the Center for Molecular Epidemiology invites applications for an open rank tenure-track position. We seek applicants to lead an independent, innovative research program in areas of cancer-focused epidemiology. Possible areas of focus include molecular, life course, nutritional, and/or environmental epidemiology and/or the exposome. Research in novel areas of cancer epidemiology related to DCC's Precision Cancer Prevention initiative are particularly encouraged. The Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Center for Molecular Epidemiology is a NIGMS Center for Biomedical Research excellence. Both offer a dynamic and interactive environment with a commitment and resources to support research excellence and career advancement. The faculty appointment will be in the Department of Epidemiology, with membership in the DCC Cancer Population Sciences research program with additional potential for membership in the Center for Molecular Epidemiology and other programs throughout the medical school and college.
Dartmouth faculty benefit from collaborative interactions across other departments at Geisel and across campus, including the College of Arts & Sciences, the Thayer School of Engineering and the Tuck School of Business. Expectations for teaching and mentoring are a part of success in this role, and individuals will have opportunities to participate in graduate programs (e.g., the Program in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, the Program in Health Policy and Clinical Practice, and the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology).
